Any lovers of Je Reviens out there?

I mean VINTAGE Je Reviens. I won an eBay auction. The bottle is 1/8 L, the bottle is clear and round, the cap is gold colored. The label is gold colored, oval, and designates the fragrance as a lotion and includes 75 degrees. The "degrees" is not spelled out, just the symbol is used next to the number 75. What does this mean?

Thanks for the explanation. I look forward to wearing it. Je Reviens was my mother's absolute favorite perfume and she always had the round blue bottles. As a child I loved to smell it and used to sneak a sniff from her bottle from time-to-time.

I love vintage Je Reviens. Looooooooove it. I have a round bottle of edc, and a couple of other formulations. I never tried a "lotion". What is the texture like?

lilybelle, it is good to see you again! It's been awhile.

Anyway, the "lotion" is just a name that is, or was, common in Europe and S. America. IMO it is similar to a cologne. At any rate, it smells wonderful. Do you know which animalic substance is in the base? It really jumped out just after the initial application.

Thank you, lpp. I am thrilled at the moment. The bottom of the bottle indicates (in raised glass letters) that the bottle is Lalique. The box is just a little darker than robin's-egg-blue. I really don't know it's age, but the whole package is in good shape.

Ah, good to know. I've been wondering about the "lotion" designation on vintage fragrances. I'm not sure what animalic you're getting in the base. I don't get civet or castoreum or anthing particularly dirty, but might it be some kind of delicious musk that's been restricted (?). Vintage Je Reviens is just...indescribable. And it's good to see you again, too, Curly.
